Sciatica

Patient image of: Marian Heymann

I was living with sciatica and a burning pain in my lower leg. PT, medications, acupuncture, and epidurals didn't help. Dr. Khormaee did surgery in my lumbar area, clearing space for the nerve and fusing 2 vertebrae. I have had NO sciatica and NO burning pain since. I had surgery on Thursday, walked around on Friday, and went home on Saturday. Dr. Khormaee has delivered a miracle.
